The list is getting so long that it will work for Vegas 18-25 😅

- stability
- open beta testing
- MagicYUV 10-bit support
- ARRIRAW .arw support
- SONY RAW / X-OCN support
- Canon Cinema RAW support
- GPU support for XAVC long
- GPU support for DJI.AVC, GoPro AVC, XiaoYi AVC (permanently deleted from the blacklist)
- Proper built in support for .mov files, re: Canon 5D Mk iv files
- AMD VCN encode and decode
- Native denoiser
- VST3 plugins support
- Plugin organizer
- Improvements to the current Media Manager
- 5.1 project with nvenc HW support output file rendering ready to play in one step without muxing offline
- import MKV with multichannel sound (Vegas could automatically convert DTS and AC3 to multi wav)
- export to MKV
- export subtitle track to SRT and SUB (as in Vegasaur)
- Change Time Stretch Ctrl + mouse to 0-1000%
- Better Optical Flow not in Video FX, but built-in program working with Velocity and Time Stretch Ctrl+ mouse
- Background rendering and better use of Dynamic Ram for smooth playback
- Luma Key and UNMULT plugin (Create an alpha channel for any image or video shot on a black or White background)

- Velocity -1000%
- Velocity for audio track
- Change Playback Rate in Properties at the event automatically adjusts the audio track as well
- Update Transitions (Zoom warp...)
- Adjustment clip
- Beziere Masking UI

- add Pin Effects to Motion Track (as in Vegasaur)
https://vegasaur.com/pin-effects-to-motion-track

- Improved selection and visual indication of auto ripple modes
- Improved migration of all features between versions including project properties, windows layouts, pan/crop templates. Migration is currently a mess. New versions should inherit all those settings from previous versions.
- Memorize the custom size of the thumbnails (Explorer/Effects/ ...) and all windows

- select events by holding the right mouse button (as in Cockos Reaper)

- Improved native titler or upgrade Protype Titler with 3D text option (as in BluffTiler)
- add mirroring in the PiP plugin
- Improved besier keyframe curve, this will be a innovation for all plugins.
Improved vs Vegas non-improved keyframe curve:

- the ability to save an FX package which keyframes are placed at the beginning and which keyframes are placed at the end of the event.

- add more effects for transitions and all keyframe (as in Blufftitler, Vegasaur Tweener and many others)

https://vegasaur.com/tweener

- Pan / Crop - unlimited object zoom

- Automatable FX - just right click whatever knob in and create Automation without clicking through the track itself.

- Contour Shuttle Control or Mouse Wheel Control on ALL Timelines.
- Resizing of Panes that’s logical.
- Safe Areas revealed on External Monitor, as it is in DVDA.
- Track Naming Box that’s NOT invisible.
- User option to remove EXPANDED EDIT MODE or remove double mouse clicks.
- Script to Collapse Selection and then re-invoke it.
- add the option Studio and Computer RGB to the Preview window
- close windows with ESC button
- Redesign of all audio plugins + Noise reduction
- Fix Vegas freeze when deleting events on the fly

- graphic design from alifftudm95

- suggestions from alifftudm95

- suggestions from Amivideotek

- suggestions from Adimatis

VEGAS SCREEN CAPTURE:

- add resolution change
- add FPS change (in Europe it is 25fps. Not 30fps)
- add bitrate change
- add Custom Area
- add path where to save files
- add Gallery of grabbed videos
- add the ability to select files in the gallery and right-click to send to Vegas in the context menu
- attractive UI (Get inspired by Nvidia G Experience, for example)

and other great suggestions below in the discussion.

I suggest that this list, including the discussion, be published in the Vegas Forum in the Important posts section, because it is a request from all of us for future versions of Vegas - 19 and higher.

The requirements met and the listed version of Vegas will be marked in red.

1 ... Also on track colors, somewhere along the way under MAGIX ownership those colors have become pastel thus making event header information very difficult to read due to a distinct lack of contrast - the header information is a white font color. Please make event header information legible via using a white font color against a dark track color (as currently occurs) but a black font color when a light track color is used (which means most track colors).

2 ... It would be superb if the centre volume control handle on audio events included a back click context menu to allow a user defined minus volume to be used. All too often, I need to expand the audio track height in order to lower the volume of the event to the level that I want. What I am asking is akin to that available when wanting to user set the volume on a node on a volume envelope.

Using the volume FX is of course an option but it is so much quicker to simply adjust the event volume in the quickest way possible particularly when wanting to balance the volume with surrounding audio event volumes.

Please return to VP18 UI, or at least make it optional. The old icons and track information were much easier to read in VP18.

Den: exactly!!
Very strange icons in V19, i can't get used to since months.

Please let us color events, like you see in Cubase, where tracks can give their color to events by default, but you can recolor each single event. It would make life so much easier if you have to handle a huge number of clips and events in a project and want to group or catalogue them into certain different categories.

My dream 😞

Like to see a new feature to facilitate multicam... the ability to specify a camera lut to be incorporated into Vegas' proxy file generation. Would suggest the ability to specify a camera lut during the media import process and then apply the lut to both the media and proxy generation. And automatically bypass the media lut when the proxy is enabled in Preview and Draft preview modes. So that those modes could be selected in multicam edit mode to remove the performance drag of dynamic lut application. Would also suggest a preference to disable this new feature so the import process remains unchanged for those who never use camera luts.

For Titles and Text it can be challenging to edit a paragraph of text to fit. Could we get a word wrap feature and the ability to made the text input box larger so we don't have to scroll as much? Right now increasing the media generator window size just yields extra border it doesn't make the text input box any larger.

From a UI perspective are we supposed to edit in the preview window? If so why does text get smaller or larger in the input box? It makes it harder to see what has been input given the fixed (and small) input box size.

1. Color different clips on a track

2. Need a good titler with some basic presets!! (lower third, kinetics, etc). Newblue is nice, but it's 3rd party. A few basic ones would be nice.

3. Better Transitions (rolls, wipes, swooshes)...without having to go to 3rd party again

4. Round of applause for great work you guys are doing!

Hello, I really don't want to make graph/value presets with normal graph/value presets settings (slow fade, fast fade) in 3D feature from vegas, there are different methods to make graph/value but it takes me a lot of time to deal with it. In short please put graph/value in percent vegas. https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/download/file/mediacenter/l2adhc58saef/WGX4iXG3oooXXlMMn4lo0X43GDDDM30L - video sped up by 600

please update more graph/value presets. please! I really want this.please bring it to suit the people of today. do this if you cannot bring graphs/value.
or just bring graph/value to all effects, vegas pro 21 is about to come out and still graph/value has not come to all effects and 3d.

I would like some indication on the asset in Project Media to show that it has been used on the timeline.

Also to be able to Lock and Unlock an entire track at the track header.

Screenshot below is of Pinnacle Studio 26 Ultimate. The features I am requesting have been available for 11 years.

And much longer with some software. The Asset indication has been requested on this forum many times. Okay if you change the asset view to details you can see how many times it's been used. That's useful but an indication on the thumbnail would also be great so you can instantly see whether an item has been used.

Perhaps there's a technical reason Vegas cannot do this?

Reyfox wrote on 5/26/2023, 6:11 AM

We look at video and image thumbnails while editing. Not a "detail" view of files. Yes, looking at the details will show you what has been used and how many times, but that requires extra unnecessary (at least to me) clicking of the mouse. Just a small NOTICEABLE checkmark/indicator on the thumbnail would be a nice quick fast reference.

And let's not forget the ability to lock an entire track at the track header.
